Chapter 126 A Different Joseph From Imagined

Chloe fell silent, reflecting upon the support Icarus had provided her thus far.

She made up her mind to inform him about Ava’s deceitful actions.

As Icarus heard the details, fury ignited within him.

“My nephew’s a fool!” Icarus exclaimed, his anger evident.

Chloe shrugged and replied, “Feel free to tell him that yourself. If I were to tell him, he might see it as me defaming Ava.”

This is why she had been hesitant to confront Jake, as her efforts had gone unappreciated, and furthermore, leaving her entangled in a messy situation.

“Thank you, Chloe. Jake will surely regret his actions,” Icarus expressed his gratitude.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether he regrets it or not,” Chloe replied nonchalantly.

Icarus observed her indifferent demeanor with great joy. Despite the circumstances, she no longer held any feelings for Jake. However, he believed that confessing at this point would be considered too hasty.

purchase a bouquet of flowers. Upon his return, he also acquired a slice of cake for Chole from

the counter.

“Thank you.” Chloe expressed slight surprise at his small gesture, although she did not attach too much significance to it.
